This project located in Indianapolis, Indiana involved the rehabilitation of a five-span, 660-foot long concrete arch bridge carrying Oliver Avenue over the White River, as well as the removal of a five-span, 249-foot long concrete box girder bridge and the replacement of steel corner framing which together connect McCarty Street to Oliver Avenue.
Westbrook project involvement entailed a finite-element plate model analysis and rating of the 100-year old Oliver Avenue arch bridge, which allowed the contractor to utilize a 350-ton crane operating with a reduced counterweight working from atop the existing bridge to set the proposed steel. Project involvement also included the development of strength calculations and demolition plans for the concrete box girder spans and the steel corner framing of the McCarty Street portion of the bridge.
Westbrook’s portion of the work has been completed, and The Indianapolis Department of Public Works estimates the entire project will be completed Summer of 2019.
